Proposed projects must have direct relevance to cancer prevention, treatment or survivorship and may address any or all stages of the cancer journey.
Característiques principals
Research Principles:
  • Relevant exposures: Diet, dietary patterns, other diet related behaviours. Markers of nutritional status, including physiological or metabolic markers, body composition, and measures of growth. Physical activity, physical fitness, time spent being sedentary, metabolic or other markers related to physical activity.
  • Cancer related-outcomes: In this document the definition of “cancer” includes the whole cancer spectrum, both before and after diagnosis, from initiation to progression, metastasis. and cancer mortality. Cancer-related outcomes should be specific and well defined.
  • Cancer Prevention: Please note that for the Cancer Prevention Research Area, body composition (eg, adiposity) and behavioural change will not be considered appropriate outcomes.
  • Cancer Survivors: overall survival, cancer recurrence, metastasis, quality of life during treatment, effectiveness of treatment, quality of life after treatment, development of second primary cancers, late-effects, chronic disease, co-morbidities, prognosis and body composition.
  • Relevance to human cancer: Studies must be justified in terms of their direct relevance to human cancer. Experimental designs outside in vivo human settings, such as animal models, will only be considered for relevant studies that examine mechanistic pathways of the cancer process. The relevance of any proposed animal model to humans and to human cancer must be clearly explained. Applications that propose solely cell line studies will not be considered.
